[Alpine-info] Timeout on sort operations

Hi,

I have some big folders (local). For example, I have a mbox folder with 
73000 on same computer on dovecot. When I ask, for instance, to sort it, 
the operation times out:

   No reply in 15 seconds from server localhost. Break connection?

I have to type "N", and repeat several times. Where is that timeout 
configured? I don't find the string "15" in the configuration.

However, if I look at the configuration .pinerc with an editor, I do see 
several variables that contain "15". Possibly this one:

# If this much time has elapsed at the time of a tcp read or write
# timeout, pine will ask if you want to break the connection.
# Default is 60 seconds, minimum is 5, maximum is 1000.
tcp-query-timeout=15


Yes, seems to work. I had to change that setting to 15 in the past because 
of some broken imap server (if it doesn't work, the operation can't be 
interrupted till timeout). Let's see how it goes.
